Zoro wears his bandana as a symbol of his seriousness and determination. Jhonny and Yosaku throw their swords, but Hachi attacks with all his might, leaving Zoro little time to react. However, at the last second, Zoro grabs his sword and executes an attack called the Drifting Sword. Zoro not only successfully strikes Hachi, but he also dodges every simultaneous attack.
Meanwhile, Genzou and Nejiko underwater try to break the rock holding Luffy, but swinging the hammer in water proves to be challenging. Nevertheless, they come up with an idea.
Hachi gets serious and points all six swords towards Zoro in unison, unleashing the Octopus Pot Stance. He blocks Zoro’s attacks and delivers a powerful headbutt to Zoro’s wound, sending him flying into the air. To prepare the final blow, Hachi rotates all six swords to attack Zoro, intending to mince him. However, Zoro counters by rotating his body and swords in the opposite direction, cutting Hachi’s hands in the process. Undeterred, Hachi continues attacking Zoro with his six-sword style, but Zoro blocks and breaks his 300 kg swords into pieces.
Hachi, now without sword, continues to attack Zoro, but with his Tatsu Maki technique, Zoro inflicts serious wounds on Hachi, defeating him. Seeing Zoro weakened, Kurubi decides to eliminate him, but at the last moment, Sanji steps in and saves Zoro’s life.
